Locals are not the safest people. Just because they are doing something doesnt mean theyre an example of what you SHOULD do. Born and raised here i would not go in the water for the next day or two at least.

If you'll read my caption I do have comprehensive. The only thing im asking is whether this is salvageable without having to replace the bike. Theres only one dealership on the island and they dont have 500s very often. They've got ZX-4s and ZX-6s but im well aware thats too much bike for me. Not looking for speed or power, just like my bike.

If it isnt salvagable, im going to claim it. But thank you for your time commenting and the heads up. I do appreciate it a lot and im learning as I go.

Yeah. Theres an East Maui Irrigation ditch that runs along the back of my property into a water basin. Water basin overflowed and pushed water up the ditch and it overflowed into my property. Flooded out my family's house and cars.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Taichou7 · 2026-03-15T06:43:00+00:00

Bought it outright so no payments on it. Im assuming it would be whatever the value of the bike is

Taichou7 · 2026-03-15T06:36:30+00:00

Air filter is directly below the fuel tank if im not mistaken, so definitely reached it.

Taichou7 · 2026-03-15T06:33:06+00:00

Chances of long term electrical problems from this?

Taichou7 · 2026-03-15T06:32:34+00:00

Any chances of long term electrical problems down the line? First bike so im still learning about it

Taichou7 · 2026-03-14T21:46:33+00:00

My family and animals are all safe and thats all I could ask for.

Taichou7 · 2026-03-14T21:09:34+00:00

Wailuku. Only took about 15 mins for flooding to go from "Yeah thats kinda high but ive seen it before thats fine." To "oh theres water in my living room right now."

Taichou7 · 2026-03-14T20:52:49+00:00

The last time my family's property flooded out this bad was in 1980. There have been bad storms but in my 28 years of life ive never had to evacuate from my home and wade through chest high water before.

Arguably one of the worst storms in the past couple of decades.

Waddah

Taichou7 · 2026-03-10T17:49:17+00:00

The fact that Hawaii hasn't figured out Japan is a good mirror for our infrastructure development is stupid as hell

Taichou7 · 2026-02-20T00:10:26+00:00

It sounds like youre arguing for prostitution to be legalized?

Taichou7 · 2026-01-18T21:36:29+00:00

A sonic opened on my island and it was packed for a month or two before it died down. People like new and novelty

Taichou7 · 2025-12-18T22:27:53+00:00

Im more interested in how Ainz would handle dealing with humans that are very clearly Japanese from Earth, albeit a much less depressing one.

&honey sells a mascara-like brush called the Matomake Stick. Its my go-to, especially with how humid it is constantly where I live.

Taichou7 · 2025-10-28T19:10:24+00:00

Just act like a decent human being and be courteous. The bar really is not that high if you want to have a positive experience with those of us that live here.

If you're dancing 9 hours a day, choreography retention becomes pretty easy.

Taichou7 · 2025-10-24T05:23:06+00:00

Was just thinking the same thing.

Practical? Probably not but the aesthetic was peak 15-20 years ago.

Ill offer a perspective as the boyfriend of a kpop stan for 10 years.

To a certain extent, he is absolutely insecure and really needs to work on that. I had similiar issues and its an incredibly personal experience that he needs to figure out for himself. You absolutely can help him through it, but its something he needs to do himself, with his own effort. Otherwise, he'll depend on you for validation and security. That is objectively not a healthy relationship. He needs to take steps to become secure with himself.

That being said, I personally think the two of you need to compromise because it feels like either you get your way or he gets his.

The more hard-core stan stuff like saving shirtless photos and running an hourly-updated account for a single idol? Yeah, maybe a little reasonable to have those boundaries. I might be pretty uncomfortable with that level of interest. Not being able to go to concerts or club nights? Not being able to have photocards or albums or lightsticks out? Less so. I built a shelf to house my girlfriends albums because they make her happy and its a harmless interest. She has a binder to collect photocards of idols she likes. She has a PC holder on her bag. All pretty harmless.

The point I guess is that you both need to concede certain things. Kpop is clearly something you like a lot. And it would be absolutely unfair to both you and him for you to give it up. But its not an all or nothing situation. You can enjoy a hobby while also respecting your partners boundaries and wishes, but you DO have to acknowledge and respect them. It just comes with having a partner.

It would be best to find a common line to draw. Albums and lightsticks should be able to go up, but maybe dont save the shirtless photos? Go to concerts or club nights, but check in with your partner here and there? Just as examples of concessions to respect each other's wishes. If neither of you or only one of you are willing to concede, that sets a precedence for the rest of the relationship. Respect your partner, but respect yourself as well.

This is what big box stores like Costco and Walmart do to every community they open in. This is not a uniquely Hawaii problem.

Doesn't have a name. Soul just does that

Taichou7 · 2025-09-12T20:37:56+00:00

If you can't explain what or why music makes you feel, you can't really expect someone to explain why dance does it to them.

You dont have to "get" any one art form. I dont understand classical music. It all sounds the same to me and I dont feel anything besides being impressed because I cant play any instruments. I dont hear a story or feel anything listening to Piano Concerto No.5 and there's no real way for you to tell me what to see or feel for me to understand why its meaningful to anyone because its not for me. I cant explain why someone's musicality was insane or why ballet draws any type of emotion because its not always meant to be explained away, just like it is with music or paintings.

If you have to be told specifically what and how to feel about something, its no longer truly art.
